Sounds like your grandmother was a wise hardworking woman that had experienced like mine the depression and then got smart, harder working and frugal and learned that you need something you work for it or make it yourself and if you can't then you buy the tools if needed and learn to do the stuff necessary to not die in a back to the wall situation. My grandparents were strong and did that stuff also and worked even in their 50's harder and faster than the kids in their 20's or 30's could never work since they didn't have that decades of working muscle and just never quit character. That that is something even myself is lacking, but though far late in the game I'm working on now since I see the alternative if I just sit on my ass is death or poverty or with the dems in office slavery is on the table and it sucks. If not for myself then the young that are more aware than my generation was the the world is a play and we're just NPC's that don't realize we're NPC's back then or even a decade ago I was oblivious. Now Trumps time in office they gave the entire setup away, the main players, the backups, the infrastructure like TV or the social media to keep up stupid and content with their crumbs or even less or jail if we didn't contribute to their wealth or happiness.
